I have been taking Citalopram HBr for about a month now for anxiety. It cautions about drinking while on the medication, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience and what the reason would be for not drinking alcohol. I would just like to occasionally have a drink socially with friends -- not get drunk. I'd appreciate any input.

Hello Akseascout,
Weclome As you know alcohol is an depresent without taking meds and like you I wondered and didn't pay attention to the label and even went as far as asking my doc well needless to to say I took a small drank soical and that was my the last one also. My meds seemed like they took a 2 week lag back like starting over I am a strong believer in if the doc or meds say no to alcohol there is a very good reason and why take the chance not me ever again. Sorry Some other peole might be diffenet, but I won't take that chanceon anything again,I hoped I helped alittle.

Alcohol and caffeine both are known to increase anxiety.
